- 3. Advancing Net Zero Aglobal campaign to accelerate uptake of net zero carbon buildings to 100% by 2050 Buildings are responsible for 30% of global carbon emissions, and are therefore an essential part of reducing global emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. WorldGBC believes that in order to meet reduction targets, the following must be achieved: New buildings must operate at net zero carbon from 2030 All buildings must operate at net zero carbon by 2050 Context
- 4. Project targets • Achievealignment and commonality between approach and certification schemes recognizing net zero carbon • Increase awareness and education to facilitate mass delivery of net zero carbon buildings • To expedite uptake in global markets by sharing lessons learned and model frameworks DecemberDecember 20152015 “A truly historic moment in the fight against climate change.” COP 21COP 21 -- ParisParis AgreementAgreement “Limit global temperature rises remain within 2 degrees, and ideally 1.5 degrees.”

Advancing Net ZeroWorkshop Sept 2016Advancing Net Zero Workshop Sept 2016 WorldGBC at COP21WorldGBC at COP21 Key Principles (1) Carbon is the ultimate metric to track (2) A minimum level of building energy efficiency should be required (3) A balance of energy to be provided from renewable sources has a general hierarchical preference of on-site, off-site and then offset (4) Net zero certification programmes should continually improve in terms of verification and rigour

Pathway 1: Adaptan existing certification programme which they own or license from another GBC GBC routes to net zero Pathway 2: Create a net zero certification under an existing programme which they license from a non-GBC Pathway 3: Create a new net zero certification using a newly developed programme or standard Pathway 4: Corporate engagement Pathway 5: Government engagement Pathway 6: Training & education Advancing Net Zero Sponsors Grant providers We have been pleased to work with the following industry leading sponsors and grant providers in 2016 & 2017:

- 9. MARKE T GOVERNME NT OUR THEORY OFCHANGE FOR ACHIEVING 100% NET ZERO CARBON BUILDINGS BY 2050 BUSINES S NGOs BUSINESS Divest from fossil fuel-emitting assets 1. Commit to investing in, building and occupying only new projects, major renovations and existing properties that will achieve net zero carbon before 2050, with new buildings from 2030 2. Disclose carbon emissions for all portfolio assets before 2030. 3. Certify all new assets as net zero carbon from 2030; certify all assets as net zero carbon by 2050. MARKE T GOVERNME NT BUSINES S NGOs GOVERNMENT Commit to reducing GHG emissions from public and private-sector buildings 1. Commit to developing national & sub- national regulations for all building types to be net zero carbon by 2050 or earlier. 2. Commit to occupying only certified net zero carbon buildings before 2030. 3. Collaborate with stakeholders, including the business sector and NGOs, to identify and overcome the barriers preventing net zero carbon buildings.
- 10. MARKE T GOVERNME NT BUSINES S NGOs NGOs Support the implementation ofmarket transformation 1. Develop net zero carbon building certification programmes as soon as possible for leading businesses to voluntarily adopt and to show market readiness to governments. 2. Engage with governments to create roadmaps, incentive programmes and tracking systems for the rapid development of net zero carbon buildings. 3. Educate, train and mobilise businesses and the public on the commercial benefits, feasibility and skills necessary to deliver net zero carbon buildings.
